VCF FAQ

3.3 我安排了与WTC健康项目的预约,但他们告诉我可能需要几个月后才能看病,然后才能收到《认证信》。即使我还没有获得认证,我是否应该提出我的索赔?

November 14, 2017

最好等到获得WTC健康项目的认证再提出索赔。如果您在未先获得认证的情况下提交索赔,那么VCF会将您的索赔置于“待用”状态,并一直保持该状态,直到您提交认证信函后您的索赔才会被审核。

VCF FAQ

3.3 Umówiłem/umówiłam się na wizytę w Programie Zdrowia WTC, ale powiedziano mi, że oczekiwanie na wizytę, a następnie na otrzymanie listu potwierdzającego zaświadczenie może potrwać kilka miesięcy. Czy powinienem/powinnam złożyć wniosek pomimo tego, że

November 14, 2017

Jeśli zarejestrowali Państwo swój wniosek w odpowiednim terminie, najlepiej jest poczekać ze złożeniem wniosku aż do uzyskania kwalifikacji do objęcia leczeniem z Programu Zdrowia WTC.  W przypadku złożenia wniosku przed uzyskaniem kwalifikacji, VCF ustawi stan wniosku jako „nieaktywny” i wniosek nie zostanie rozpatrzony aż do czasu złożenia pisma potwierdzającego kwalifikację do objęcia leczeniem.

VCF FAQ

3.3 ¿Yo hice mi cita con el Programa de Salud del WTC, pero me dijeron que podrían pasar varios meses para ser atendido y luego recibir la carta de certificación. ¿Puedo presentar mi reclamación aún cuando no he obtenido la certificación?

November 14, 2017

Es preferible esperar para presentar su reclamación hasta que haya obtenido la certificación del Programa de Salud del WTC, siempre y cuando usted haya registrado su reclamación oportunamente. Si usted presenta su reclamación sin haber obtenido primero la certificación, el VCF pondrá su reclamación en estado inactivo y permanecerá en dicho estatus y no la revisaremos hasta que usted nos provea con su carta de certificación.

VCF FAQ

3.3 I scheduled my appointment with the WTC Health Program but they told me it may take several months to be seen and to then receive a certification letter.

November 14, 2017

It is best to wait to file your claim until you have been certified by the WTC Health Program. If you submit your claim without first being certified, the VCF will place your claim in Inactive status and it will remain in that status and will not be reviewed until you submit your certification letter.
